When you are a petite bride, there are some special things you should know to help you look and feel your best on your casual wedding day. There are many styles which look wonderful on shorter brides. The key is to select a wedding dress which neither cuts your body in half nor swallows you up.
Wedding dresses for women who have petite frame should be those that have simple cuts and simple fabric type to make them look taller and slender. Princess style unique bridal gowns are very lengthening, as they have seams which run from the top of the bodice all the way to the hem of the skirt without interruption. The A-line skirt is much more proportional to a petite frame than a very full ballgown.
If you like the look of a strongly defined waistline, opt for a narrow ribbon or beading right at your natural waist. Avoid any wedding dress skirts which are very gathered or have deep box pleats at the waistline in favor of those which are more slender near the hips and flow out into a fuller skirt more gradually.
